This post is inspired by a recent Spam commercial I saw on tv. We see a macaroni noodle and a block of cheese dining together, acknowledging what a boring duo they make. Enter Spam. What a combination: Spam and Mac 'n Cheese! I get a sense that we have traveled back to the World War II era, when spam was especially popular. As we wade through these harsh economic times, there seems to be a renewed focus on the 'eating on a budget' concept. And although spam prices are up (avg. $2.62 for a 12oz can, 17 cents higher than last year), sales are up too!
As I watched the ad on tv, I found myself lost in a time warp filled with processed meat and fake cheese...(though not to say that spam & mac 'n cheese isn't delicious...)
On another note, who knew there were so many different Spam products?
Spam with Cheese, anyone?
